If we stay on South Beach Diet Phase 1 for 3-4 weeks is it safe to consume eggs every morning?
Dr. Agatston: Yes, the latest evidence is that eggs are good for us–even the yolk, which actually has Vitamin E and other important nutrients. The Harvard School of Public Health has done studies showing seven eggs a week are fine. They did not study higher numbers. Eggs usually increase the good cholesterol out of proportion to the bad. If you have a history of a cholesterol problem and are consuming a great deal of eggs you should recheck your cholesterol.
